Just Because Something is Legal, Does That Make it Right?
I just wanted to pop in and ask everyone to run over and read Amy's post on Abortion and the Sufficiency of Scripture.
She says:
She says:
Government approval of abortion should give us reason to pause for reflection. The most obvious reason, of course, is that the legality of something doesn’t make a “something” right. It is legal for me to murder my almost-born baby, but it is wrong. It is legal for me to hate my brother, but it is wrong. It is legal to park my kids in front of MTV for all their waking hours, but it is wrong. Christians are governed by a different standard– the Word of God– not the legal whims of whatever nation they happen to live in. The reason for this is because the Word of God is infallible and the men who govern us are not.I loved this part:
My culture tells me to limit producing children in favor of a lifestyle of personal peace and affluence. Sleeping in on Saturday mornings is more desirable than pouring Cheerios. Let’s not mince words: children are work. However, the Bible would tell us that children are a heritage, a reward (Psalm 127).
